Colts game!

Our first Colts game, and our first NFL game!!!! Wow, what an exciting day. We started out with getting decked out in Colts gear. We headed into downtown Indianapolis and there were so many people hanging about. After finding some parking, we headed for the stadium. We wanted to hurry inside to see everything. It was pretty cool because this was the first NFL game inside the new Lucas Oil Stadium. Our seats were way at the top and this being our first time inside, we didnt know how to get there exactly. We ended up taking this ramp that took like 15 minutes to go up. It was ridiculous!!! After the game we found out that there were escalators. Oh my.... Overall though, it was an incredible experience. Unfortunetly we did not win, but it was only a pregame and our 3rd and 4th string QBs were played. It was still awsome though. Here are a few pics of everything.

A panaramic view of the game.

After the game, right by the field =) The field
Rene and I cannot wait until we can go to a real game! Our dream would be to have season tickets while we are down here and to possibly go to the Superbowl in 2012!!! Oh, what a dream that is....

Our first post!

Our first blog... what to write. Well, I am still trying to figure all of this out but I think I've got a handle on it. We decided to start blogging since we are so far away from our friends and family. =( We are currently living in Indianapolis, IN where Rene is training to be an Air Traffic Controller. (And no, that is not the guy who stands out by the planes wings with the orange cone things) I am looking for work with no real prospects, but oh well. The weather is hot and humid, which is nothing like Alaska. Not a day goes by when I don't miss home. But, we are making the best of things. This sunday, Rene and I have tickets to see the Colts play the Bills in the new Lucas Oil Stadium!!! Our first NFL game ever!!!! We are stoked! There will be pictures to come =)



Here is a pic of Rene and I with the one and only, Colonel Sanders!!! That's right folks, the KFC dude. We volunteered to help out with the Indy 500 Mini Marathon and was surprised to see which celebrity showed up. It was a very long day as we had to show up around 4 am. It was a great amount of fun though. More to come later on all of our adventures.
